Set Up Your Local Python Environment
Use the below to install python libraries that “normally” would be installed in a system directory such as /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y
. Use the –user
flag to install to a directory you have control over as a user. Here are more details:
–user
installs in the directory specified insite.USER_SITE
- example:
~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
- add this folder to your PATH (in ~/.bash_profile file):
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
An alternative to this is to use python virtual environments
